Writing a Clean Offer
Consider the following scenario: You finally found a house that makes your heart skip a beat--it's in the right location and has everything you want. Price is the only thing that keeps you from making an offer, because you feel that it is more than you can afford. How can you maximize the possibility that the owners will accept an offer that is lower than their asking price?
The first thing you should do is to make the offer as "clean" as possible by not asking for special contingencies. Get as close to the list price as you can (keeping in mind what your financial situation requires), and avoid demanding minor repairs or cosmetic items. Be as flexible as possible about scheduling closing and your move-in date to accommodate the seller's plans. Finally, you can offer a larger-than-usual deposit to persuade the sellers that you are a serious buyer and to make it harder for them to "just say no". Each situation is different, but the "cleaner" the offer, the more likely the sellers are to accept it. Contact us for more negotiating tips at 882-7210.
If you have questions about moving, building, selecting your first home or moving up to your next home, contact DAVID BRENTON’S TEAM.

Our Agreement
If you’re like us, you have a favorite home that catches your eye as you drive by on a regular basis. You know, the one that is always well-kept, the lawn neatly trimmed and paint always bright. At times you even imagine yourself living there. Or, perhaps you would like to be in a particular location but you haven’t found any homes for sale there?
We wanted to let you know that we have the experience and the resources to approach those in a neighborhood to determine if they might be interested in selling. Also, we can guide you in how much you should be paying for that property.
We invite you to do your own research on the internet, search the newspapers and interview buyers, sellers and agents for all the information you can find. Remember to ask the hard questions. You’ll find that there is no substitute for an experienced professional to aid in your home search. A lot can happen during the process of getting a home to closing – negotiating the purchase agreement is only the first step in the long process to get to the closing table. Plus, we have an agreement with other realtors to show not just our listings on our web site but all of theirs as well. We are here to help.
